you are doing great work over there in New Zealand! And I really appreciate your attitude towards what you are doing! I'm not sure, if you noticed that I answered your comment on our page?
I'm one of the players of Al-Dersim and in charge for this project together with Silke and others - just so that you don't wonder why Silke has not replied to you in person. We are all doing our best as players and as volunteers in whatever is there to do...
I wonder what migratory groups you mainly have in NZ? Africans? And is segregation really such a big topic down there? I didn't know that before...except, of course, when it comes to aboriginies.
Looking forward to reading your answer.
Keep up with your way!
Thanks for your reply. It's a bit hard to mix volunteer work with your full time job. But with drive and love for what you believe in, I trust we can achieve our aim.
I think segregation is every where, some are born with it, some are brain wash to believe they are better than another. The question that ponders my thought always is why segregation? what's the gain?. So to your question, segregation is everywhere. But more pronounce in some places than others in this world.
The tournament was initiated to service the refugee and migrant groups especially from Africa (Sudan, Somalia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe) and Middle East (Assyria, Iraq, and Turkey) and help to integrate them with the main stram Football community as well as assist to creat pathway to empower through professionalism.
I hope have answered your question trying to be political correct.
thanks for your answer, which absolutely met my questions.
Of course, I am aware that segregation is everywhere. Still, I imagined NZ to be one of the places of the world facing it less. Maybe like Canada, where all the geographical space seems to result in space in peoples' minds and make them more open towards any kind of differences between people.
I don't think anyone is born with segregation as sort of a natural or God-given attitude. I rather believe it all comes down to brainwashing in various ways.
The gain of segregation must, I think, be located at least on two different levels: One, of course is political. Its the old story of divide and conquer. The other is the individual level, where, I think, quite a variety of motives play a role but not all of them in all cases. I'm talking about motives like projecting your own problems into others, so one can fight them in the other persons; feeling superior to others, while one actually feels so small; the "black-sheep" for all of societie's unwanted issues (unemployment,...); and many more.
So I never really ask myself "why segregation?" but rather "Why still?" and "Is there really no way to finally put a stop to it?".
